May 2023 - Salt Lake Staycation & Aunt Diane's Funeral

Sweet baby Remy was born to Craig & Chelsea and we got to visit her in the hospital.  She came FAST and was born at home.  She's adorable!  




For Alexa's birthday she and I did a staycation in Salt Lake.  We had a suite at a hotel, saw the new Little Mermaid movie, listened to live music in the street and ate gelato, explored temple square, went shopping at City Creek, did an escape room, ate lots of Mexican food, got Boba tea, and used electric scooters to go all over downtown Salt Lake.



Grandma Sweeny and Alexa got their nails done and got Indian food for her birthday as well :). 

Grandma Sweeny, Grandpa Sweeny, and Jonny came to Utah for Aunt Diane's funeral.  She passed very suddenly from a heart attack.  She made anyone and everyone feel comfortable and loved in their own skin, was always generous with her talents and possessions, and will be missed terribly.  

While Jonny and Grandpa were here we went to the Saratoga Temple open house and ate at In-N-Out.


Alexa graduated from 6th grade (!!) and Liam graduated from preschool.  Two big milestones for these smart, cute kids.  



I went to IHOP on a date with Tad, complete with giant pancakes and lots of refillable hot chocolate.  


For Mother's Day Kyle got me and the girls matching dresses.  If you zoom in you can see FOMO Nathan standing at the window, wondering why we won't let him join the fun.  And Tyler made me a statue for Mother's Day at school :). 

Other shenanigans.





And Audrey is still oh so adorable.
















Funny Stories:

Liam: What’s Nathan’s middle name?

Dad: Richard 

Liam: What’s your middle name?

Dad: Edward

Liam: What’s Mommy’s middle name?

Dad: She doesn’t have one

Liam: Yes she does! It’s JEFF-ER-EEE

December 2024 - Christmas Fun

We were so happy to have Marmie and Grandpa fly out for the Swingle Christmas party.  Emily is the best party planner of all time and had really fun games, prizes, and yummy treats despite her whole family being sick.  Craig and Chelsea gave us a fun Christmas lantern aquarium pass for Christmas and it was amazing!  They had entire habitats full of lantern animals from all over the world.    Tyler and Alexa had their violin Christmas recital at a local care facility, which was such a great idea on their teacher's part.  Sadly, I had to join via FaceTime because I was out of town.  But they did great! We were excited to hear Ian Beagley play viola on Temple Square.  He and Alexa also put together another amazing family recital.  It gets better every year!  Ian played viola; Alexa played violin and sang; Tyler played violin; and Tad, Liam, Lincoln, and Sawyer played the piano.   One of my best friends from high school, Katie Cutr...

stairs and a silly little girl....

I forgot to mention a few August updates in my last post, and have some more Alexa stories (as always)...First, Kyle (with the help of Uncle Paul and Todd--thank you!!) finished the stairs and they look awesome!!  He completely rebuilt them (ripped them down all the way to the drywall). Second, both Kyle and I were supposed to be in this work athletic competition in August, but I had to back out for obvious reasons.  Kyle still did the tennis and basketball tournaments and made me oh so proud.  He even got this funny little basketball trophy for taking third place.  The other tournaments that week included horseshoes, ping pong, foosball, golf, Wii dance, volleyball, and a triathlon. We went to Ikea for breakfast last Saturday (so delicious and cheap!) and bought Alexa a stuffed puppy while we were there.  She now takes it everywhere continuously saying "puppy, puppy, puppy!"  Speaking of the puppy, she even dragged it through toilet water l...

November 2024 - Princess Audrey

November was a blur of work travel for Mom.  I had 15 flights in 12 days.  I laughed that Nathan wanted to FaceTime with me as Spiderman while I was gone.  Alexa and I went on a date to see the new Wicked movie.  Now she is listening to the album on repeat.  I remember doing the same thing with the Broadway music in high school. Here are some little moments of Kyle reading to the kids. Audrey brings him books all day and I love it. We had our beloved Aunt June over for dinner with Aaron Andrews.  It was so wonderful to see them both! Princess Audrey turned 2 and we celebrated with lemon blueberry cake, dress ups, and a new baby doll.  We ate mac and cheese for dinner and played flashlight hide and seek for her party.  Audrey pushing her baby around:  https://youtube.com/shorts/MrHGvmeDisU?feature=share The boys are official super heroes. Richard and Megan came to visit the weekend before Thanksgiving.  It was fun to see them and have tim...
